Establishing Standards for Pharmacovigilance Systems

The PS² project is transforming pharmacovigilance (PV) by creating shared standards for systems and processes, starting with Case Intake. This collaborative effort will reduce costs, eliminate duplication, and improve interoperability across the industry, while enabling faster solution evaluation and greater innovation. By focusing on common requirements and vendor certification, PS² allows pharma companies, suppliers, consultants, and service providers to spend less time on maintenance and more time advancing patient safety.

Pharmacovigilance Systems & Processes Standards (PS2) – Case Intake

Breaking Down Silos. Building Standards. Driving Innovation.

Pharmacovigilance (PV) systems across the pharmaceutical industry share remarkably similar requirements—but suffer from poor interoperability, leading to fragmented solutions, inflated costs, and limited innovation.
 
Join us for a focused webinar introducing the PS2 – Case Intake initiative aimed at defining requirements and integration standards for the pharmacovigilance case intake process. This effort seeks to reduce duplication, foster compatibility across PV technologies, and lay the groundwork for a more agile and cost-effective ecosystem.
 
In this session, we will:

  • Present the project’s background, highlighting the current pain points in PV systems
  • Share the objectives and scope of the initiative, including our approach to stakeholder collaboration
  • Provide a summary of progress to date and outline the next steps
  • Explain how both pharma companies and PV technology vendors can participate and contribute

 
Whether you’re a pharmacovigilance business lead, IT lead, or technology supplier, this webinar will equip you with the insights needed to decide if this initiative aligns with your organization’s strategic interests.

Who Should Attend

This webinar is designed for professionals in R&D, data science, healthcare, and anyone passionate about driving innovation through collaboration.

Let’s build a future where life sciences R&D is faster, more efficient, and focused on delivering better outcomes for patients worldwide.

Patient Listening on Social Media for Patient-Focused Drug Development.

Patients, life science industry and regulatory authorities are united in their goal to reduce the disease burden of patients by closing remaining unmet needs. Patients have, however, not always been systematically and consistently involved in the drug development process. Recognizing this gap, regulatory bodies worldwide have initiated patient-focused drug development (PFDD) initiatives to foster a more systematic involvement of patients in the drug development process and to ensure that outcomes measured in clinical trials are truly relevant to patients and represent significant improvements to their quality of life.

Calls for life sciences to focus on patient centricity  

The life sciences and healthcare industries should restructure around patient centricity, according to global not-for-profit the Pistoia Alliance.  

The call follows a meeting at the Pistoia Alliance’s annual European conference in London where discussions around the sector’s position in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic took place. Attendees at the meeting highlighted how advances in technology are helping patients become more empowered regarding their health.
